Country office Congo

Paluku (63) is for a quarter of a century farmers' leader in Congo. With the support of Trias, he manages that the farmers in his country speak with one voice. Interested in his story?

Take a look at the Congo development report that was published by the United Nations and the OECD in October 2016.

Fighting for the right to exist

The best guarantee for structural progress is the development of a civil society. This is why Trias and its institutional financiers support the development of strong local and national farmers’ organisations in Congo. We pay particular attention to the quality improvement of farming products with a high added value, such as cacao and palm oil. We are also increasingly providing support to groups of disadvantaged entrepreneurs. We follow up closely the core capacities of all partners.

Challenges

Do farmers in Congo have rights?

The family farmers have forever been left to fend for themselves. With Trias' support they are joining forces on national level.
